Sandy Point Restaurant Announced Closed for Good
Sad to see that they announced they closed for good on 9/13. Served their last meals this past Sunday. Wish they had provided some notice as every time we tried to get in there w/ a reservation they stated they were full to capacity. A shame they could not make it work. It surely will be missed especially where it seemed they pulled together this past season Best of Luck to them.

Sandy Point Closed For Good ???
Eye, where did you see they were closed for good? Their website is current and indicates they closed on Sunday, 9/13 for the season.

"We locked the doors for the last time on Sunday September 13. Thank you to all of you who have believed in us from the first day to the last. Your support kept us going, but unfortunately we have had to face the reality that this wasn't going to work for us. We have enjoyed meeting all of our new friends and are looking forward to what life has in store for us. Sincerely Mike and Loree"

On Facebook, not their website
Eye, I just went to their facebook page and found their announcement. They have only operated it for a couple of years, 2014 wasn't very good but we were there just a couple of weeks ago and had a delicious meal. Too bad another one bites the dust.

I would think they would try to sell?
I can't imagine that they would just abandon everything and maybe they are looking for a buyer?

They don't own the restaurant...

In all fairness, it is a lot of work during a 4-5 month period. Best wishes to them.

Lease clarification
Quote:
I know I couldn't walk away for what is probably a sizable investment in fixtures, equipment unless those are also leased not to mention a staff that is trained. Best wishes to them as well it probably wasn't an easy decision |

Yes, I should have noted that is where I viewed the announcement, I apologize for not including that information. This was also the Current Lessee's (not the Damons from many previous years). I unfortunately was not able to get in there this year Best of Luck to them and hopefully a new venture for someone else up for the challenge if the Resort decides to Lease

Correct, Uppie.

There were not many nights when the lot was full & many nights there were no boats @ the restaurant dock. I think they didn't book as many reservations so those that called were told they had no room. At 6 pm the Friday of Labor Day weekend,there were fewer than 10 cars there when I drove in. That would have been unheard of in the Damon years. Last edited by ghfromaltonbay; 09-16-2015 at 03:33 PM. Reason: Typo |
